The Men’s Group took part in Movember and grew some impressive moustaches. The group meets every Thursday at Thingwall Hall to discuss football and more serious issues such as men’s health.
Movember is about bringing back the moustache (Mo), having fun and doing good to change the face of men’s health, specifically prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health. Mo Bros take action by changing their appearance through the growth of a new moustache for the 30 days of Movember, and in doing so become walking, talking billboards for men’s health.
Movember was part of the Brothers of Charity Service’s Health and Wellbeing initiatives for November, to raise awareness of men’s health.
As well as raising awareness of men’s health issues, the group also raised money for their Christmas Party.
Raising awareness of men’s health, Senior Support Worker, Barry Clayton recently thanked Everton legend Kevin Sheedy for saving his life after reading about his battle with Bowel Cancer in the Liverpool Echo. As a result, Barry was diagnosed with Stage 1 (early stage) bowel cancer, his tumour was operated on at The Royal and he is now doing well. You can read Barry’s story in the Liverpool Echo.
